Speaker 1: Up next, how WOUDO called part of it? Has just
Speaker 1: been confirmed that the President of the United States, Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's son, Hunter Biden, has on numerous occasions used the
Speaker 1: N word. I am not joking. I am not kidding.
Speaker 1: The President of the United States of America's son, Hunter Biden,
Speaker 1: has used the INN word casually numerous times. A word
Speaker 1: that has the ugliest history in our country. A word
Speaker 1: that slave masters used while they were beating slaves to death,
Speaker 1: a word the slave masters used when they lynched people
Speaker 1: hung them from a tree, is one that casually comes
Speaker 1: out of the mouth of the President of the United
Speaker 1: States son, Hunter Biden. What's even more interesting is the
Speaker 1: fact that his father has used it in Congress. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: we're led to believe that Joe Biden is supposed to
Speaker 1: be the uniter of this country. He's supposed to quash
Speaker 1: all the race issues we have and bring us together,
Speaker 1: especially after what happened with George Floyd. I don't believe
Speaker 1: one bit of it. I do not believe that Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's son just recently started using it. I believe that
Speaker 1: he's been using it, and I believe that he probably
Speaker 1: heard it from his father to begin with. When I
Speaker 1: look at the policies in which Joe Biden has provided
Speaker 1: to this country, things that have become law, His his
Speaker 1: stands on segregation, racial jungles, as he said he didn't
Speaker 1: want his kids growing up in a racial jungle. When
Speaker 1: I think about his stance with the ninety four Crime
Speaker 1: Bill creating it, imprisoning hundreds of thousands of African Americans,
Speaker 1: impacting millions of families, millions of families impacted, I am
Speaker 1: not surprised that Joe Biden's son would get caught using
Speaker 1: this ugly language. But my question is this, I don't
Speaker 1: expect anything to change with Joe Biden. I don't expect
Speaker 1: anything to change with Joe Biden's son. But will African
Speaker 1: Americans black voters view Joe Biden's son and him differently?
Speaker 1: And we were to find out that Joe Biden uses
Speaker 1: the word frequently and there was evidence provided, would they
Speaker 1: view him differently or will they continue to support his administration?
Speaker 1: That's the question that everyone should be asking right now,
Speaker 1: because when Trump said things that were racially insensitive, and
Speaker 1: he has said things that were racially insensitive, folks were
Speaker 1: up in arms, and in some cases rightfully, so this
Speaker 1: should never ever ever be acceptable. And the fact that
Speaker 1: we may not even see any outrage from the media
Speaker 1: those on the left tells the whole story that when
Speaker 1: it comes to racial reconciliation, for so many, it's a
Speaker 1: talking point, it's a cold word, not to actually get
Speaker 1: anything changed in this country, but to use it as
Speaker 1: a farce to get more black people voting for Democrats.
Speaker 1: And this is only Gianno Caldwell's opinion. Black lives don't
Speaker 1: matter the Democrats black votes do. And seeing things like
Speaker 1: this coming from the Biden family as a clear and
Speaker 1: unacceptable example of it. Ye, welcome back to allow with
Speaker 1: Gianno calledwell, well, folks, you just heard my monologue on
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, and you can tell that I'm quite fired up.
Speaker 1: I'm piste off, to be honest with you. I'm just
Speaker 1: extraordinarily disappointed with what I see as medium oulpractice for
Speaker 1: not covering a story that deserves attention in the President
Speaker 1: of the United States sun especially who the president is called, uh,
Speaker 1: the smartest person he knows and someone he takes advice
Speaker 1: from on policy issues as well as I can imagine.
Speaker 1: But I am honored to have a discussion with a
Speaker 1: man that really needs no introduction. You know him as
Speaker 1: a super Bowl champion. You also know him as a congressman,
Speaker 1: and he just actually really recently became a congressman. His
Speaker 1: name is Congressman Burgess Owens, and I'm telling you, folks,
Speaker 1: he's a rock star, superstar right out of Utah. And
Speaker 1: I am so honored to have him here, and I'm
Speaker 1: honored to call him a friend and a and a
Speaker 1: new mentor to me. So I want to welcome Congressman
Speaker 1: Burgesson and thank you for joining. And I allowed with
Speaker 1: Gianno Caldwell. Thank you my friends, so so good talk
Speaker 1: with you and uh and I look forward to this
Speaker 1: these these topics we're going to go in the next
Speaker 1: few nts. Absolutely, and last time I saw you, we
Speaker 1: had some really good conversation. We had lunch in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. And thank you for accepting my invitation to
Speaker 1: join the show. So, as you know, I opened up
Speaker 1: the show talking about the Hunter Biden story. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you've read about it, and I know that you've tweeted
Speaker 1: about out of as well. The President son used the
Speaker 1: inn word repeatedly in several texting conversation with his white lawyer.
Speaker 1: Some of these texts were also allude and just playing bizarre.
Speaker 1: Before getting into the media angle of the story, what
Speaker 1: was your personal reaction when you heard about it, especially
Speaker 1: as a black man who was raising the South during
Speaker 1: Jim Crow Well, I think the uh, the response all
Speaker 1: of us, anyone who who who understands the environment we're
Speaker 1: in today and sensitive to it. Uh it. It's obviously upsetting,
Speaker 1: but it's not surprising. And I'll tell you why. And
Speaker 1: this this goes I think more to the crickets we're
Speaker 1: hearing from the media. I think that's really what we
Speaker 1: need to look at as we talked about things like
Speaker 1: systemic racism. Let's let's really peel back this a little bit.
Speaker 1: I grew up in a Deep South, and at sixty
Speaker 1: years old, I kind of recognized there are two types
Speaker 1: of racist. One is the one that's in your face.
Speaker 1: Of course, being down South, Uh that we dealt with
Speaker 1: him all the time. The good thing about the one
Speaker 1: in your face, you know what to how to prepare yourself.
Speaker 1: You you know, not to trust, you know, to be
Speaker 1: ready to fight when you have to. But the ones
Speaker 1: that's the most dangerous one is the one that smiles
Speaker 1: your face gives you a big hug um and and
Speaker 1: does everything to uh and just pulls you in real close,
Speaker 1: tells you how much you love you, and then at
Speaker 1: the very end make sure you know that that your
Speaker 1: inferior and that they are superior. That's the worst kind
Speaker 1: because the trust factor is what allows you to believe
Speaker 1: that they have your best interests in mind. We're seeing
Speaker 1: a media now that uh that is nothing but full
Speaker 1: of racists. Uh well nothing I should I should say
Speaker 1: this to racist and black elitist. We have the nub
Speaker 1: A c P, we have the Black Caucus. The silence
Speaker 1: of course on this because their their their end game
Speaker 1: is not so much to pull to point out these
Speaker 1: people that are not not uh supporting our race or
Speaker 1: or doing those things that help our race move forward.
Speaker 1: It's all about a gender of power and and we're
Speaker 1: seeing that as we speak, so um and just I
Speaker 1: just want to add one little thing to to kind
Speaker 1: of point this out. We have. Last week, there was
Speaker 1: a a big report came out about the NFL. I
Speaker 1: don't know how many of you guys have heard this one,
Speaker 1: but NFL was paying black players less in conversation for
Speaker 1: brain injuries and white players. And the reason they did
Speaker 1: that because they called it race norm they come up
Speaker 1: with an algorithm in which black people are less intelligent,
Speaker 1: so therefore, uh get the same injury, we get paid
Speaker 1: less than they do now. And I have to understand
Speaker 1: where where we're going with this. This is the kind
Speaker 1: of stuff that I grew up in, this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: I came into the NFL back in the nineteen seventy
Speaker 1: three with when you actually have no no leadership positions quarterbacks, centers,
Speaker 1: metal linebackers. These all were white leadership positions. We're now
Speaker 1: doing the same thing in nine when NFL in which
Speaker 1: the intelligence of the black race is baked in that
Speaker 1: we are less so uh so the broader pictures, Why
Speaker 1: are we not talking about Hunter while we're not talking
Speaker 1: about the NFL, while we're not talking about all the
Speaker 1: things that that that that we end up finding on
Speaker 1: the far left. That becomes very obvious when when all
Speaker 1: these black businesses were being burned down and every urban
Speaker 1: city and all these black people being killed, there's something
Speaker 1: that we have to understand that there is systemic racism
Speaker 1: that's always on the other side. It's always on the
Speaker 1: party that looks down on our race. Uh that does
Speaker 1: not expect good things from us, that it's okay we
Speaker 1: have high high crime, high uh literacy, h unemployment. That
Speaker 1: never seems to be the issue because it's always the
Speaker 1: white man's problem. And so when I when I'm hoping
Speaker 1: that the audience will will will see it's not just
Speaker 1: about Hunter, um. Uh, it's about the entire process of
Speaker 1: messag you are getting from the from the from the
Speaker 1: far left. And if we understand that and recognize that
Speaker 1: they're just not our friends. Uh. And I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you my my white American friends out there, Uh, we're
Speaker 1: all any of all of us in the same same
Speaker 1: same place. When it comes down to the far left,
Speaker 1: when you're dealing with elitist, uh, it is a equal
Speaker 1: opportunity uh provider. It doesn't matter who you are, what
Speaker 1: color you are. Uh. Elitist love power and use anybody
Speaker 1: anything to get there. So we just have to be
Speaker 1: aware of that and understand that's what the problem is.
Speaker 1: So in terms of Hunter, he's got some big problems.
Speaker 1: So as our president, it's become very obvious that there's
Speaker 1: a consistency here. And not only we're gonna continue to
Speaker 1: find out more about this this fella, but we're gonna
Speaker 1: find a system of process in which will never get
Speaker 1: the truth when we need to hear so we can
Speaker 1: make the decisions we need we needed to make. You know,
Speaker 1: what's interesting to me because you you mentioned the media angle,
Speaker 1: and you mentioned CBC and UH double A c P,
Speaker 1: uh CNN, New York Times, we haven't heard anything. Washington Post,
Speaker 1: we haven't heard anything. Just a handful of outlets really
Speaker 1: picked up this story. And what's so disgusting to me
Speaker 1: is the media has been all over race based stories.
Speaker 1: They've written stories about a fifteen year old girl. I
Speaker 1: believe it was that you use the N word, and
Speaker 1: I think her she had an application for college or
Speaker 1: something other that was rejected. Because it's a story that
Speaker 1: have come out, they've talked about the N word, with
Speaker 1: none about non political figures. If Don Jr. I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously know what everyone knows. If it was any of
Speaker 1: the Trump kids to use it, we have wall to
Speaker 1: wall coverage. Donald Trump said in a campaign rally, he said, look,
Speaker 1: my African American over there, my African American. You're a
Speaker 1: powerful person, my African American. And you know the to paraphrase,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what he's at my African American over there,
Speaker 1: wall to wall coverage, Hunter Biden, nothing and what pisses
Speaker 1: me off even more. And I'm gonna tell you, Congressman,
Speaker 1: can I call you Doc, because that's what I've been
Speaker 1: calling Doc. I'm gonna tell you what pisces me off
Speaker 1: even more is whenever that was a race story that
Speaker 1: came out about Trump or any Republican I had people, friends,
Speaker 1: people that I know call me, text me, you gotta
Speaker 1: say something about this. You gotta speak out about this,
Speaker 1: you gotta do you know what those people are now silent,
Speaker 1: They don't have no speaking out. I look on their
Speaker 1: their social media page, there's no comments. I've called some
Speaker 1: of them and they said, well, what relevance does this
Speaker 1: really have He's not the president. Well you've talked about
Speaker 1: other members of the Republican Party that wasn't the president
Speaker 1: or elected who have said things. Now, I see what
Speaker 1: has been race is in. Racism isn't an issue to
Speaker 1: be solved. It's an issue to benefit from for those
Speaker 1: many of those on the left. And I don't want
Speaker 1: to generalize everyone, because there's some people who are really
Speaker 1: fighting for justice. I get that, but a lot of them,
Speaker 1: the majority from what I can see, the vocal majority,
Speaker 1: That's what I'll say. The vocal majority are all about
Speaker 1: benefiting from racism to point at the other side versus
Speaker 1: solving it or calling it out wherever it lies. And
Speaker 1: I think it's a problem for um, for our community,
Speaker 1: for the black community. It's a problem because now democrats
Speaker 1: realize because you won't get upset, you won't talk about it,
Speaker 1: you won't be vocal about it. They see, really, we
Speaker 1: don't need to do anything to get your vote, but
Speaker 1: to call other side raises and we got you. What
Speaker 1: do you make of this double standard? Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: we should be surprised what we have to do. And
Speaker 1: this is really what it comes down here. I have
Speaker 1: to understand who it is that we are working with
Speaker 1: or working against, or who's who it is that we're
Speaker 1: just trying to undermine. The fabric of who we are.
Speaker 1: See is the fabric of America is one in which
Speaker 1: we literally every generation become better looking at each other
Speaker 1: from the inside out. First, outside in the fabric is
Speaker 1: our your deal Christian values, which says, no matter what
Speaker 1: faith you worship, you're welcome here. But because worship have
Speaker 1: a faith of faith in God, then we we we
Speaker 1: we do our best to be blessed by him by
Speaker 1: treating to other people. Right now, you take that out
Speaker 1: of the equation, which is what the heart left has done.
Speaker 1: You have to understand what we're dealing with here. We
Speaker 1: deal with people who do not believe in God, do
Speaker 1: not believe in the family unit. Um and uh. And
Speaker 1: also capitalism a free market is taboo. Uh. The idea
Speaker 1: of having a self sufficiency, have an empowerment of of
Speaker 1: of ownership that is so against the other side that
Speaker 1: we're dealing with. So if we begin with that premise
Speaker 1: that we're dealing with an ideology and that ideology is
Speaker 1: almost like a spiritual religion of his own. Um, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's the question you have to ask, and that
Speaker 1: this is I just heard this other day. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: the the questions do you believe in God? And if
Speaker 1: you believe in God and you and as long as
Speaker 1: you do and you know that you're not Him, then
Speaker 1: we have something we to talk about. We have a
Speaker 1: side of this, this process here that truly does want
Speaker 1: to undermine who we are. And the most powerful thing
Speaker 1: that we the people do is we talk. We we
Speaker 1: we we we we look for harmony, look for ways
Speaker 1: that we can find common interests. We look at a
Speaker 1: football game or basketball in which we can we can
Speaker 1: forget our division, our differences, our politics, and come together
Speaker 1: and root for our team and be friends. So those things,
Speaker 1: those common bonds, that that makes our country what it is. God, family, country,
Speaker 1: entertainment or sports, which we see and feels fell as
Speaker 1: a team. That's what's made that has made us great.
Speaker 1: And that's why whenever we have things like the nine
Speaker 1: eleven or or Pearl Harbor, you find America's coming together
Speaker 1: like nothing else in the in the world. We come together,
Speaker 1: we bond, and boy, there's no more more powerful than that.
Speaker 1: The Left wants to destroy that. So don't don't look
Speaker 1: for logic, and I guess that's my point. Don't look
Speaker 1: for logic. We have conversations about the hard left. There's
Speaker 1: no shame, Number one. When there's no God, there's no shame.
Speaker 1: They'll do whatever they feel they have to do to win.
Speaker 1: And they don't care who who pays the price for them,
Speaker 1: as long as they're not paying the price. They're used
Speaker 1: to be as anyone and everything. And so that's what
Speaker 1: we're seeing now. Uh uh they're they're going to uh
Speaker 1: you know, they look so hard to find ways to
Speaker 1: make white people feel guilty and black people feel angry.
Speaker 1: And we have to get past this and recognize who
Speaker 1: we are. I'll say this one of the great things
Speaker 1: about uh. This as tough as it was, and and
Speaker 1: many of us lost good friends. Uh, you know, jobs
Speaker 1: will become an issue. You have so many children now
Speaker 1: that have lost a whole year. Uh. It was an
Speaker 1: attack on our system. But that that has allowed us
Speaker 1: also to pull back the curtains and start having conversations.
Speaker 1: It's canna be really important for us. So uh, we're
Speaker 1: not waking up. We're not realizing that our freedoms are
Speaker 1: so so gosh. Uh. The vulnerable we we just can't
Speaker 1: take for granted. When also wake up, can't go to school,
Speaker 1: can't can't go to church, um, can't open your business,
Speaker 1: then we can have a conversation to bring us together.
Speaker 1: So keep that in mind, and we and we continue
Speaker 1: to have these issues with race and racis and be
Speaker 1: pushed up. Keep that in mind. It see logical, and
Speaker 1: let's move forward to do something else. Before we move on,
Speaker 1: I just want to remind our audience of things that
Speaker 1: Republicans have experienced UH. And when it comes to people
Speaker 1: making comments, whether they be insensitive or just racist, I
Speaker 1: want to remind folks that Steve King, who was a
Speaker 1: Republican Congressman from Iowa in January nineteen, he said the
Speaker 1: following line in an interview with The New York Times,
Speaker 1: white nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization. How did that language
Speaker 1: become offensive? Republicans across the board immediately rebuked him, removed
Speaker 1: King from his committee assignments, and basically made him a pariah.
Speaker 1: And then King lost reelection in and Jess this sheer
Speaker 1: Goop leaders immediately and forcefully condemned Congressman Margi Taylor Green
Speaker 1: for comparing COVID related rules to the Holocaust. But the
Speaker 1: Democrats have done nothing to condemn, let alone punish, UH
Speaker 1: Congressman Omar for routinely making anti Semitic comments. She's still
Speaker 1: on a House Foreign Affairs committee despite spread and missing
Speaker 1: from Asian and demonizing our closest ally Israel. And obviously
Speaker 1: they've been solid on President Biden son using an inn word.
Speaker 1: It seems that racism and bigotry are exposed to the
Speaker 1: like Republicans condemned right away and Democrats don't. We're talking
Speaker 1: to Congressman Verginson from the Great Thing of Utah. We've
Speaker 1: got so much more with the Congressman right after this break.
Speaker 1: Why did you decide to run for Congress? You? You know,
Speaker 1: you're you're a superhero of so many people. You talk
Speaker 1: about you winning. Uh. You you worked in the NFL,
Speaker 1: very successful. They're a champion there. You've obviously written books
Speaker 1: done quite well and and that arena as well. And
Speaker 1: you came into a space where people were really gonna
Speaker 1: begin to hate you. There's a shift that takes place
Speaker 1: when you're a love of a love figure. You think
Speaker 1: about somebody like Ben Carson, who was really loved in
Speaker 1: the black community. I remember going up in Elment Entry
Speaker 1: School and seeing this picture with Oprah Winfrey and many others.
Speaker 1: Your picture may actually have been up there as well
Speaker 1: as great black folks. But as soon as uh, you
Speaker 1: saw him switched not even switched gears who really talked
Speaker 1: about his faith, who talked about the fact that he
Speaker 1: was a Republican, he got hated. So why would you
Speaker 1: Why would you do something like that? Like, you know,
Speaker 1: you had a great life before. Why joined public service? Well? Uh,
Speaker 1: because I also had a vision. I've had a mission,
Speaker 1: and I've had that mission since I was uh since gosh,
Speaker 1: since I was very young. I was very fortunate to
Speaker 1: have been raised at the time when when my community
Speaker 1: really believed in and their mission is being their children
Speaker 1: living better than they did. Their mission was the idea
Speaker 1: that they were gonna command respect just by winning and
Speaker 1: showing that they can and they can compete in any
Speaker 1: arena um And we can spend time talking about that,
Speaker 1: but if you just go back to world. The warden
Speaker 1: of the king Marches noticed that they were wearing white shirts,
Speaker 1: dark ties, sometimes dress dress shoes because they wanted to
Speaker 1: give the impression of a very professional, committed, disciplined, principal
Speaker 1: articulate race because at that time who looked at as
Speaker 1: beneath the white race very inferior. So when I came
Speaker 1: to the NFL, my mission, because I raised in this
Speaker 1: community and I talked about Dad all the time, it
Speaker 1: was it was a great nuttor and trying to find
Speaker 1: out a high of ways to help young people is
Speaker 1: I had the same dream. I had a dream of
Speaker 1: coming out the NFL building a business and some kind
Speaker 1: of weight turning, helping my race the kids and young
Speaker 1: people to have the same Well, well I I did.
Speaker 1: But then when I when I end up uh, you know,
Speaker 1: finally getting to where I had a non for profit
Speaker 1: work with without risk kids, I realized, if we don't
Speaker 1: change policies, that the kids don't have a chance. So
Speaker 1: that's what I ended up doing, is is uh had
Speaker 1: I had that moment. I realized that in order to
Speaker 1: make the difference with these average kids, boys and girls
Speaker 1: coming out of jenneral system, giving them a second chance.
Speaker 1: And I realized if if I didn't do something with policies,
Speaker 1: that it would not change. So I had a friend
Speaker 1: of mine who asked me to seriously consider it, and
Speaker 1: I finally did, and I realized that this might be
Speaker 1: an opportunity to do so. So um uh and and
Speaker 1: and to the point of being disliked. I think when
Speaker 1: you if you understand, if you're gonna make a difference
Speaker 1: in life, uh, that's that's the price. Um. Any time
Speaker 1: that you're gonna make this country great, make your family great,
Speaker 1: stand up for you, community standard for what's right, they're
Speaker 1: gonna people come after you. That is the way it works,
Speaker 1: as good and as evil, and the other side doesn't
Speaker 1: like to see good moving forward. So I'll say I'll
Speaker 1: say this, big G. I will say the same thing
Speaker 1: for you, man. I know, I know for you. I
Speaker 1: know for you, Uh, it could be so much easier
Speaker 1: just to go out there and live your life and
Speaker 1: and do things that are kind of not too controversial
Speaker 1: and you still succeed, but but you would not feel
Speaker 1: good about yourself because you know there's something more in
Speaker 1: there that you gotta do. So I'm hoping that Americans
Speaker 1: across our country, and this is every color and background,
Speaker 1: let's remember UH. And you're not being talked to history,
Speaker 1: find a way to learn the great history we have
Speaker 1: and and be part moving forward of making sure our
Speaker 1: country comes together. We're at a remarkable place now, and
Speaker 1: those of us who stand strong history is gonna look
Speaker 1: back and say, this was the generation that did what
Speaker 1: they had to do. They were the they were the
Speaker 1: kids that were running the beaches in World War two.
Speaker 1: There were the firemen that ran into the buildings of UH.
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what we have to look at ourselves.
Speaker 1: This is our moment to save our nation, but we
Speaker 1: can only do that by standing up and fighting against
Speaker 1: the bullies and the cowards. Because that's what the left are,
Speaker 1: the bullies and cowards. And if you let them run, run,
Speaker 1: shot over you, they will take advantage of you. They
Speaker 1: will never ever stop. They will just find another way
Speaker 1: to command you do what they want to do. And
Speaker 1: we need to need to push back on that absolutely,
Speaker 1: and that and that's a good segue. I want to
Speaker 1: shift topics with you and discuss a story that's been
Speaker 1: in the news. As you know, President Biden put well,
Speaker 1: let me say, President Kamala Harris is Joe Biden sometimes
Speaker 1: called her. President Biden put Vice President Kamala Harris in
Speaker 1: charge of handling the border and Harris just went on
Speaker 1: the first foreign trip as VP to Mexico and Guatemala.
Speaker 1: By all accounts, the trip was a disaster. According to reports,
Speaker 1: olives of Biden and even some people close to Harris
Speaker 1: think it went horribly and she was totally unprepared for
Speaker 1: basic questions. How do you assess Kamala Harris job as
Speaker 1: VP so far, especially in the handing handling of the
Speaker 1: border crisis. But I want to appoint a clarification in
Speaker 1: terms of her being unprepared for basic questions. She did
Speaker 1: um an interview with NBC and she couldn't explain why
Speaker 1: she hasn't been to the actual border border to see
Speaker 1: what's going on and see the crisis that's taken place.
Speaker 1: And she said, well, I haven't been to Europe there,
Speaker 1: what what does that have to do with anything? So
Speaker 1: it was she fumbled the ball on the interview. She
Speaker 1: she she really lost out and before her her peers
Speaker 1: in other countries, because um, I think it was the
Speaker 1: president of Guala Mana who said that the crisis of
Speaker 1: the borders the father Joe Biden. So you know they're
Speaker 1: they're telling on them. What what do you how do
Speaker 1: you assess her job thus far? They're lost in space? Um.
Speaker 1: They really they're showing that there the lightweights. And it's
Speaker 1: sad to see this. It really is for a country
Speaker 1: as strong as as our country is, that is in
Speaker 1: a position have always been the leaders, and we've had
Speaker 1: presidents who you know, have come and go on somewhere
Speaker 1: good and bad, but not none of the presidents and
Speaker 1: vice friends have been clueless. And that's what we have
Speaker 1: right now. We see the first six months of this year.
Speaker 1: You tell about turning around a society to where more
Speaker 1: and more people in misery. Uh, and we see inflation.
Speaker 1: Uh that and and and for for young people like yourself.
Speaker 1: Inflate has always been so small, so minute, so slow,
Speaker 1: that you don't quite get it until maybe, you know,
Speaker 1: five ten years later, we've seen this. Within six months,
Speaker 1: we're seeing a board in which is truly open. Um.
Speaker 1: It is. I just came back from the Daring Gap
Speaker 1: last week. Uh. And that's that's that's the place down
Speaker 1: between Panama and Colombia. Uh. It's just where uh people
Speaker 1: coming from all around the world, sixty countries, it comes
Speaker 1: to this gap, and they're coming all from all around
Speaker 1: the world. It's a very dangerous gap, by the way,
Speaker 1: it's the most dangerous jungle in the world. And people
Speaker 1: dying going in and coming out. Um. And they're being
Speaker 1: the wounded. They're dying. If it is amaze that they
Speaker 1: have been robbed, the women are being abused. But they're
Speaker 1: coming through because they get this bill welcome sign and
Speaker 1: they feel they can live American dream because we have
Speaker 1: a president who has no clue about the misery and
Speaker 1: with the consequence of his words. So so this is
Speaker 1: going to continue because at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: the far left has a mission. The mission is to
Speaker 1: push so many people into our country that we don't
Speaker 1: recognize who we are. So many people who come here
Speaker 1: do not know us, our language, do not know our culture,
Speaker 1: have no idea what the American dream, what a loving
Speaker 1: our country. Even they come here because they can get
Speaker 1: some they get a quote a good life. We have
Speaker 1: a government's going to give them everything. And that's not
Speaker 1: what's build our country. Our country is built on pioneers,
Speaker 1: on on risk takers, on people building a bigger dream
Speaker 1: and so proud to be Americans that they would change
Speaker 1: their name and that speak only English because they want
Speaker 1: to be assimilated to the American way. That's not what
Speaker 1: we're seeing cabinet here, because the Left would do anything
Speaker 1: they can to get power and to change us from
Speaker 1: the country that lives in God country, family, respect for
Speaker 1: women in authority. That's who we are, by the way,
Speaker 1: they want to change that because something that's exactly the opposite.
Speaker 1: We hate, We disrespect, We don't think a family is
Speaker 1: what's supposed be. We have no God in our lives
Speaker 1: because they are God. They want to be. They want
Speaker 1: to be in control everything. That's what they want and
Speaker 1: we've seen it before Cuba, um Nazi Germany, China, Um,
Speaker 1: any place that we've had, uh, totalitarianism, it's what they're
Speaker 1: trying to get to. And then then they're gonna get
Speaker 1: there because American people are waking up. And I just
Speaker 1: have so much faith in who we are and who's
Speaker 1: backing us up. And we're gonna make that, you know,
Speaker 1: we get, we get, we're gonna ge control of this
Speaker 1: country and then going the right direction for sure, and
Speaker 1: and getting the control of this country encompasses I think
Speaker 1: all voices at the table, especially when you think about
Speaker 1: congressional Congressional organizations like the Congressional Black Caucus, which uh
Speaker 1: is a group that's supposed to be nonpartisan, is mostly
Speaker 1: made up of Democrats since the nineteen seventies. Only a
Speaker 1: few Republicans have been a part of it. You're obviously
Speaker 1: want a hand. What maybe it's like three Republicans now
Speaker 1: in Congress you Byron Donald's, uh, and then Tim Scott, right,
Speaker 1: so it's only it's only three of y'all. Now. Recently,
Speaker 1: Congressman Byron Donald's he was looking to get into the
Speaker 1: Congressional Black Caucus and he's been denied. I want to
Speaker 1: play this clip and get your response to it, but
Speaker 1: I want to set it up for the audience. Here.
Speaker 1: This clip is UH Congressman Donald's on South CNN and
Speaker 1: they just play a collage of statements made by Trump.
Speaker 1: They get his response and asking why does he want
Speaker 1: to join the Black Caucus after having supported Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Take a listen to his response. First of all, whatever
Speaker 1: the President said in the pass, it's nothing to do
Speaker 1: with this discussion at all. I think you've defended you.
Speaker 1: Don't cut me off. I didn't. I have not cut
Speaker 1: you often, and if you please do not do that
Speaker 1: to me. Thank you. As a black man in America,
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to have my own thoughts on who I
Speaker 1: choose to support and who I choose not to support.
Speaker 1: I think that it's important whether you're talking about the
Speaker 1: Congressional Black Caucus, or the Florida State Legislative Black Caucus,
Speaker 1: or the National LA Caucus of state Black legislators organizations
Speaker 1: I have been a part of in the past. My
Speaker 1: supporter President Trump has been consistent, But at the same time,
Speaker 1: I've had the ability to advocate for issues ideas proposals
Speaker 1: and funding that have helped the black community in my state.
Speaker 1: You're talking to somebody who my first three years in
Speaker 1: college was that Florida A and M and HBCU. So
Speaker 1: whether my support my support for President Trump or whether
Speaker 1: it's for against is irrelevant. That has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with this discussion. This is whether the ideology of somebody
Speaker 1: who is conservative is welcome in to Congressional Black Caucus.
Speaker 1: It's really that simple. And so to bring up President
Speaker 1: Trump and trying to make this about him does not matter.
Speaker 1: It's irrelevant. It has nothing to do with the situation
Speaker 1: at hand. What did you think of what Congressman Donald's
Speaker 1: just had to say about that? Uh, well, I think
Speaker 1: I think that, Uh he was spot on. Here's what
Speaker 1: I wanted everybody to remember when it comes down to
Speaker 1: the heart left. We talked about earlier who the true
Speaker 1: racists are in our country. You see, they expe black
Speaker 1: people to think exactly the same way because we're black.
Speaker 1: They think we think with our skin, and if we
Speaker 1: don't say the right things, they're upset, they're frustrated, and
Speaker 1: they wonder what the world we're thinking about. We must
Speaker 1: be crazy. Well. Byron, by the way, is one of
Speaker 1: the sharpish young man I've had a chance to me.
Speaker 1: I've been so proud to serve with him. He will bring. UH.
Speaker 1: He will bring to any organization a perspective and intelligence,
Speaker 1: a way of kinding solutions. But what we're seeing here
Speaker 1: is a black call because that does not care, that
Speaker 1: does not care at all about solutions. UH understand that
Speaker 1: in every single UH community that's that that is going
Speaker 1: through misery black community, who's in charge of that community?
Speaker 1: Whereas the biggest literacy, the biggest crime, the destruction of
Speaker 1: the family. UM, the anger, the anger that that takes
Speaker 1: people to the streets is always in the same people.
Speaker 1: It's the same folks, the same the same areas and
Speaker 1: in the in the same same places that have been
Speaker 1: run by the Encourage to Congressional Black Caucus. I give
Speaker 1: Byron a lot of credit because I had not I
Speaker 1: had not myself want to be part of the organization
Speaker 1: because I don't see that we have a lot in
Speaker 1: common my goals and make sure that every community, no
Speaker 1: matter what the color is, is surviving and moving forward.
Speaker 1: Particularly particularly because I'm a Black American. I want Black
Speaker 1: Americans to feel and know that the American dream is
Speaker 1: here for them too. And I'm realizing that every single
Speaker 1: place that that these UH that this this caucus oversees
Speaker 1: this misery. So uh So, I think there's a couple
Speaker 1: of things that you see that and here the condescending
Speaker 1: attitude of these uh these white liberals is amazing. Here's
Speaker 1: a congressman and she can't help herself by disrespecting him
Speaker 1: the way in the tone that she gives the to
Speaker 1: talk to this guy, to talk to Byron. Why because
Speaker 1: in their mind, this is not a true Black American
Speaker 1: and he does not deserve their respect because he's not
Speaker 1: acting like black people should be acting. So there's a
Speaker 1: couple of things that unfolding this. Keep this in mind
Speaker 1: of whatever you hear these people talk to conserve the
Speaker 1: black people, and there's other side of it. And I say,
Speaker 1: this is one of the worst things that thing has
Speaker 1: happened to us. And I grew up in my community
Speaker 1: that was a remarkless successful community in the sixties. Uh
Speaker 1: And I just say this real quickly. Let our country
Speaker 1: and growth, the middle class middle mem Ma tride late
Speaker 1: from college men permitted the marriage it was and the
Speaker 1: percentage of entrepreneurs. That was a community I grew up them.
Speaker 1: And what turned us upside down was not right supremacy.
Speaker 1: It was black elitists, elitists that cared more about their power,
Speaker 1: their positions, uh, their fame, they care about their community
Speaker 1: and they put they just like a matter doors they
Speaker 1: opened their gates and let these folks come in and
Speaker 1: destroy our community. And they're trying to do the same
Speaker 1: thing today. So I want my friends out there to recognize, Uh,
Speaker 1: we should not be we should not turn against each other.
Speaker 1: We might not agree on everything, but we have the
Speaker 1: same in game, which is to make sure our kids
Speaker 1: have a remarkable future and that the opportunits are lives
Speaker 1: in pursuit of happiness for everyone, no matter what side
Speaker 1: of the hour on we agree on that recognize their
Speaker 1: people that do not want that to happen, and they
Speaker 1: are our true enemy. Uh. And so this this, let's
Speaker 1: make sure we're talking to friends and and and then
Speaker 1: agreeing to disagree. We do that, and believe me, we
Speaker 1: get luck further and it will understand again who our
Speaker 1: true enemy is, and that's who that those are people
Speaker 1: who want to destroy everything. We believe that. Before we
Speaker 1: move on, let's take a quick break, and I want
Speaker 1: to ask you about sports. You obviously played in the
Speaker 1: NFL for teen years, you're super Bowl champions. Sports are
Speaker 1: traditionally patriotic and all about hard work and a meritocracy.
Speaker 1: But now professional sports leagues are becoming increasingly woke. They're
Speaker 1: promoting Black lives matter, they're talking about laws that are
Speaker 1: being proposed. What do you make of the NBA, NFL
Speaker 1: and other sports lead becoming an increasingly political, political and
Speaker 1: left wing I think the arrogant, delicious pair of price
Speaker 1: they're arrogrant that there was a time when when woke
Speaker 1: companies who cared about all their customers more than they
Speaker 1: cared about jumping into his proital political arena. What we're
Speaker 1: seeing now is the results of having a terrible educational
Speaker 1: system that teaches our young people to grow up and
Speaker 1: be socialists. And they're now in charge. So they don't
Speaker 1: care about the seventy four million other people that did
Speaker 1: not vote for Biden. They care about their agenda. They
Speaker 1: care about again, the whole left agenda, which many of
Speaker 1: us are against. So I football game in two years
Speaker 1: and I won't. I'm a person to believes in being principal.
Speaker 1: Let's give some things up, and when it comes down
Speaker 1: to the free market, we give things up by not
Speaker 1: paying for their services, and at some point they will
Speaker 1: get it. Uh and and so I think that's that's
Speaker 1: important to keep them keep in mind. Uh we right now,
Speaker 1: as they missed before, we're fighting for the hard soul,
Speaker 1: our nation we want to place in which our kids
Speaker 1: grow up looking at each other. The way my kids
Speaker 1: were raised. It doesn't not care about the color or
Speaker 1: the religion or their culture. You care more about the
Speaker 1: fact that there's somebody that you that you have the
Speaker 1: same um basic beliefs in terms of content, helping people,
Speaker 1: accepting people who they are, those are things we look
Speaker 1: for and and and we cannot allow for our kids
Speaker 1: to grow up in an environment that's teaching them to
Speaker 1: hate other people based on their skin color. Uh. And
Speaker 1: I just want to make this one point. I grew
Speaker 1: up in that that environment, uh, in which I never
Speaker 1: and when I was in high school, did not develop
Speaker 1: any white friends because we were getting through just that
Speaker 1: that that first integration period and just just trying to
Speaker 1: get an idea who we were. And and today, decades later,
Speaker 1: when I run into some of my colleagues through that area,
Speaker 1: we talked about how it's just so sorry we missed
Speaker 1: that opportunity to spend time together, to date, to to
Speaker 1: hang out, to have fun because we were just trying
Speaker 1: to get through that era. We were that we with
Speaker 1: the generation that sacrifice a lot of friendships, so we
Speaker 1: can get to the point now where none of that,
Speaker 1: none of the stuff should matter. Let's not let's not
Speaker 1: be the people that look back and our kids say,
Speaker 1: I sure wish I had not gone through that era
Speaker 1: I was taught to take to hate people, because now
Speaker 1: I regret it. We cannot let our children say that
Speaker 1: one day. So let's uh, let's not let that happen. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: And I wanna get in your if you tell people
Speaker 1: about your book, and if you have any legislation coming up,
Speaker 1: the folks at home should be aware about. Uh. We
Speaker 1: will love to hear it. First of all, I had
Speaker 1: a couple of books. The last one was Why I
Speaker 1: Stand from Freedom to Killing Friends of Socialism. My first
Speaker 1: one was um. The first one was Liberalism or had
Speaker 1: to turn the Good Minute to Winders, Winnings and Webbs.
Speaker 1: Great great, great history about our our my race, about
Speaker 1: our great country. But the most important thing right now
Speaker 1: is that those are listening. Let's make sure we learn
Speaker 1: our great history. That's what it comes down to now.
Speaker 1: Right now I'm on the judiciary and the ranking a
Speaker 1: ranking member for h for education labor uh K through
Speaker 1: pre K through twelve, and we're put together legislation to
Speaker 1: make sure education is as an option for everyone. That
Speaker 1: choice should be out there a big time. So just
Speaker 1: keep in mind, keep that up as we move forward.
Speaker 1: Uh I would say that the goal is to make
Speaker 1: sure that the Republican part is in charge in two
Speaker 1: If we allow that to happen, we're gonna find policies.
Speaker 1: It's gonna allow us our kids to have options, for
Speaker 1: businesses to start running again. Black businesses out there can
Speaker 1: can get back on track to become part of the
Speaker 1: American dream. And we're gonna have ruling a rural rule
Speaker 1: of law where you build a business, you raise your family,
Speaker 1: and you walk up your house and you feel safe
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. That's what it comes
Speaker 1: down to. We need to get back to basics. We
Speaker 1: do that and America just wins. We do that to
Speaker 1: make the to make that point for sure, thank you
Speaker 1: Congressman for spending time with me here on allow with
Speaker 1: Giano calls well and we want to be sure to
Speaker 1: support your book. I think that you're an outstanding standard
Speaker 1: bear for what folks can aspire to. So we appreciate
Speaker 1: your service and sacrifice. A super a super Bowl chimp
Speaker 1: that uh went ten years, that's that's a long time.
Speaker 1: But thank you so much for all that you do
Speaker 1: for our country. Well, thank you, And let's just say this,
Speaker 1: I have been so impressed. I know that our future
Speaker 1: is a good hands. We have strong, solid conservatives like
Speaker 1: yourself that stand for the right and particulate yourself. And
Speaker 1: this is a team effort. Uh, it's all we do.
Speaker 1: We all do our parts. So I'm thankful that I'm
Speaker 1: in the position i am. I'm also stateful friends like
Speaker 1: you that gives us a voice, a platform that to
Speaker 1: have these kind of conversations, and for people across the board,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what our party is, is to have
Speaker 1: common sense conversations where we can come together and realize
Speaker 1: we need to really work together harmonize again to keep
Speaker 1: our country going strong. So thank you all right, absolutely,
Speaker 1: and I think that was an incredible point that you
Speaker 1: may having a platform to speak up because not everything
Speaker 1: goes right within the party, would certainly call out if it,
Speaker 1: if it, if things aren't going in the right direction.
Speaker 1: And absolutely that's the point we can have conversation, dialogue,
Speaker 1: and it's not gonna be like on the other side
Speaker 1: where they just you let stories like the Hunter Biden
Speaker 1: in store in words story just go to go to
Speaker 1: the wayside because he's a Democrat. We're gonna call it
Speaker 1: out if necessary, and we're gonna keep moving forward to
Speaker 1: ensure our party um has earned the respect of all Americans.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that and thank you so so much
Speaker 1: for your time, Congressman Burgess Owens. Um, I want to
